"Yes," Tong Da said, opening his palm. "This is the Miss's earring. The man said he must see the Princely Heir by morning, between 7 and 9 a.m., otherwise he'll harm the Miss."
"Then report to the Princely Heir immediately," Chen Jiu said. "I'll stay here with my men and keep watch."
"Right."
Tong Da had barely left when a guard sent by Lu Zhan found Chen Jiu and relayed the message Lu Zhan had received.
Although Chen Jiu wondered how the Princely Heir knew the Miss's whereabouts, he knew the Princely Heir never acted without cause. The information had to be true. Not daring to delay, he immediately led his men to Santian Town.
There was only one inn in the small town, so he and his men found it easily.
However, when he found the room where Zhi Wan was staying, it was already empty. The only things left were shattered porcelain and food strewn across the floor in a mess.
